What could go wrong with GST Reg
Address proof mismatch
- Business address on your electricity bill must match the application exactly - even flat number format matters.
- Mismatch triggers an officer query that adds 3-5 days.
- Ollvy CA cross-checks every address document before filing.
Aadhaar OTP fails
- GST registration requires Aadhaar OTP on your linked mobile number.
- If the number is old or inactive, OTP fails and you cannot proceed - must be fixed at an Aadhaar centre first.
- Ollvy verifies your Aadhaar-linked mobile before filing.
Operating without registration
- If turnover crossed Rs. 40 lakh (goods) or Rs. 20 lakh (services) without registration, you owe 100% of unpaid GST plus Rs. 10,000 minimum penalty.
- Penalty starts from the date you should have registered, not when you get caught.
